TWU GYMNASTS PUT ON
GOOD PERFORMANCE AT INTRA SQUAD SHOWCASE
DENTON,
TX—The Texas Woman's University gymnastics
team ended their fall workouts with the annual Maroon/White
Intra Squad Showcase in front of 200 fans in Kitty Magee Arena
Saturday night. The Maroon team took the meet with a team score
of 113.400 while the White squad turned in a 112.300. Team
Maroon won every apparatus except for balance beam, with White
winning that event 27.750 to 27.200.
“I am extremely pleased with how the intra squad meet
turned out. Two things surfaced for this team tonight with
one being that we have a lot more depth in the lineup and two,
we have a lot of gymnasts who can compete as all-arounders,” head
coach Frank Kudlac said. “Competitive spots on this year's
team will be very valuable because of the talent level of all
of our gymnasts. We are going to open a lot of eyes this season
because I think this is the most talented group of girls that
TWU has ever put on the floor. We got through the fall practice
without any injuries and I am looking forward to a great 2003
season.”
The
Maroon squad consisted of sophomore Jennifer
Bolli (Rockwall, TX/Rockwall HS), senior Kristin
